What’s the only thing better than one beloved country superstar releasing a new album? Two beloved country superstars releasing a new album together! Country music’s royal couple, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, are releasing a brand-new collaborative album in November.
In many ways, Hill and McGraw’s announcement of their upcoming record should not come as a surprise. Since late 2016, the couple has teamed up for everything from a sold-out Ryman Auditorium show to a song for a movie soundtrack to a full-on tour. Still, the news that Hill and McGraw will come together for their first shared album, after more than two decades of marriage and almost three decades each in the music business, is thrilling.
Below, The Boot rounds up all of the information known about Hill and McGraw’s forthcoming album.
The Title
McGraw and Hill’s collaborative album will be called The Rest of Our Life. The couple announced that news on Oct. 6 — their 21st wedding anniversary — when revealing the record’s second single.
The Release Date
The Rest of Our Life is due out on Nov. 17.
The Record Label
The new album from Hill and McGraw will be released through Sony Music Entertainment’s Arista Nashville label. Both artists signed separate deals with the company in February; per reports, their contracts each involve “multiple solo albums” as well.

Hill says that, from first listen, she connected to the song “lyrically, melodically, everything.”
“It’s important that young women hear that message from the men in their lives and from the other women in their lives,” McGraw adds (quote via B104). “It’s important that the young men hear this message so they know how to speak to a girl.”
The couple performed “Speak to a Girl” at the 2017 ACM Awards on April 2.
